Ownership and Cultural Property

The Consortium on Human Rights and Expressive Culture will begin its next discussion on Monday, 15 February, 2010 with the theme of Ownership and Cultural Property. Discussants should be prepared to address ideas of "public culture" and the performance of cultural ownership, as well as national property rights conflicts, and how these figure into human rights discourses that emphasize global norms.

Please review the guidelines for participation and confirm your participation as soon as possible to chreculture [at] gmail [dot] com. Participants should use the time prior to the discussion to read all materials and prepare at least three questions and comments for discussion. These should be posted within 24 hours of the start of the discussion. Please find the reading list below:
